Filed under: Biodiesel

Over the past year, the price of diesel fuel has climbed up above the cost of gasoline and stayed there consistently. Unfortunately for diesel drivers, that price differential additionally applies to biodiesel to an even larger degree. Nonetheless, the additional 10 cents a gallon for B20 by straight petroleum diesel hasn’t stopped citizens at one station in Fort Collins, Colorado. Sales of Blue Sun B20 at the Team Petroleum have continued to climb that year even at the higher prices although some other stations have discontinued selling B20.

It’s possible that drivers who are only marginally interested in using a greener fuel have given up on the more expensive option. With the reduced availability, other more environmentally conscious drivers have probably switched by to the Team station as a conclusion. The city of Fort Collins is still using B20 in city vehicles as well although they may have to reconsider whether prices continue to climb.
